This is from the Cursor blog [1] linked in the description, but repeating it here in case it's useful to anyone:
------
Check whether you are impacted
The malicious extension appends the attacker's public key, labeled svc-telemetry, to your SSH authorized keys. To check for it:
On macOS, run:
grep -qs svc-telemetry ~/.ssh/authorized_keys && echo "svc-telemetry key found" || echo "No key found; machine not impacted"
$files = "$HOME\.ssh\authorized_keys", "C:\ProgramData\ssh\administrators_authorized_keys" | Where-Object { Test-Path $_ }
if ($files -and (Select-String svc-telemetry $files)) { "svc-telemetry key found" } else { "No key found; machine not impacted" }

I get what they're trying to say, but it still seems a bit unconventional to have a line chart where the y-axis is a share percentage.
Here's a graph with revenue in dollars by segment:

Here's a random anecdote for you:
Back in 2018, I sold a bunch of Nvidia stock. I had bought it in 2014, when deep learning was taking off, and it had gone up 10x since then. It was obvious that all the growth had been captured and it was time to get out. I remember feeling pretty smug about timing things just right.
Nvidia's market cap in 2018 was around $150B, and the largest company in the world was Apple at ~$800B. And part of my thinking at the time was, well... Nvidia is already worth about a fifth of the most valuable company in the world. How much can they reasonably grow from this valuation?
In hindsight, I can tell you: the answer is 35x (as of now, and who knows in the future). The idea that any company, much less Nvidia, would be worth $5T within a decade was laughable back then, and yet, here we are.

You're basically agreeing with the person you replied to. Software went quickly because all of this tooling already existed. It will take a while to build equivalent tooling for other knowledge work, and once it does you'll start seeing larger benefits.

Google started blurring faces in Street View in 2008, and they had been working on it since 2007.

Now, I'm not saying that's going to happen -- but if you take analogies from the dot-com era and assume they're going to play out in the same way, you can't just cherry-pick the bad ones.
